The tennis world came to a stop on Wednesday as Roger Federer and Marin Cilic were locked in a titanic battle at the center court in Wimbledon. The duo treated us to a match that will go

down as an all-time classic. And at the end of a little over three hours, Federer came back from two sets down to reach yet another grand slam semi-final with a 6-7 (4/7), 4-6, 6-3, 7-6

(11/9), 6-3 victory. The Swiss Maestro, in the process of completing the stunning turna-round, broke and equaled a number of records: * 307: All-time new record for most Grand Slam match

wins, passing previous best of 306 held by Martina Navratilova. Serena Williams, already into the semi-finals of the women’s singles, is currently on 302. * 84: Wimbledon match wins,

equalling the record of Jimmy Connors. Federer has a win-loss record at the tournament of 84-10; Connors retired with 84-18. * 11 : Number of Wimbledon semi-finals for Federer, equalling
